GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) — Officials say a U.S. team is expected soon in the South American nation of Guyana to probe the crash of a Boeing 737 jetliner that all 163 people aboard survived.

Authorities so far have given little idea about the cause of Saturday's crash. The Caribbean Airlines plane ran off the end of a runway at Guyana's main airport and broke in two. About 30 people had to be treated at a local hospital, including the pilot.

The airline is largely owned by the government of Trinidad and Tobago and its prime minister has visited the crash site. Kamla Persad-Bissessar says she is worried that the accident will hurt tourism to the Caribbean, a region that depends heavily on the industry.

I think everybody is sufficiently aware of your debate tactics by now. Mountain / molehill etc.

WAIT! I just figured it out... Dude's a cab driver, huh?
That's his angle. He's losing fair due to the convenience of flight.

Often, one's agenda is as simple as defending the point they've attempted to make originally. Even though others have debunked his point - airplane professionals, even - still he clings.

Meh, every time I start a thread someone will point out that I have an agenda. I'm used to it.

Frankie is never wrong. He will declare victory shortly and then excuse himself to go and run an errand or two. He'll be back soon thereafter, however.

I don't have lap top and yes I do step away from my desk top. What's so unusual about that?

As far as being wrong or right it seems that you guys are the ones so cocksure that a mechanical man-made object is totally indestructible. I am merely presenting the point that there is such a thing as human negligence when it comes to maintenance.

Just quit while you are behind and hope the thread disappears into the abyss.

Of course you would say that since you are a hurt-ass, which is not surprising having tried to match wits with me here and on DC.

Farooq you, dipshit.

I'm going to let you in on a secret. People are laughing at you, regularly, and it's not because you're funny.
